Chapter 1047 (1/2)

The representatives from the United States were also called in. The negotiation lasted all afternoon, and a ”NAC free trade agreement with the United States of America” was finally published, which made countless businessmen in the sixth block ecstatic.

However, there are still restrictions on free trade.

First of all, iron, aluminum, titanium, tungsten, molybdenum, and rare earth ”strategic materials” are all banned items. Once found, they will be punished as smuggling crimes. On this point, no matter how the representatives sent by the unified zone protested, Jiang Chen did not make any concession.

Iron, aluminum and titanium, needless to say, are the key to the production of high-tech weapons. From the optical components of laser guns to the acceleration guide rails of type 50 electromagnetic guns, they are all inseparable from these things. As for tungsten and molybdenum, one is one of the raw materials for making C-section steel, and the other can be used to produce neural access devices.

In addition to the ban on the sale of strategic goods, Jiang Chen also imposed an additional 15% tariff on luxury goods in the United zone, which they had to pay as long as their goods were sold in the sixth block market. Although it seems that the 15% tariff is not high in this world, it is already very high in the end of the world when goods are relatively scarce.

Against it? It's no use opposing.

For NAC, the commodities of the United zone are not the only choice for NAC. NAC's commercial routes extending in all directions from east to Yingzhou and west to India are too many trade partners that can be used as substitutes.

However, there is no more choice for the United zone. Although they can find large-scale survivors' settlement in Fuzhou to the south, they can feel desperate just by the exotic and Zombies along the way. The extremely cold weather in the north is not suitable for the cultivation of mutant fruit trees. The production of nutrient mixture can not be supported by hunting alone, unless they waste all the ammunition that is not abundant on the other species. It's not just nutrition mixture, many things in Wanghai are piled up in the warehouse, and they are in short supply.

It is their only choice to open up trade routes along the Yangtze River, unless they can obtain a large amount of helium to make airships, but this is obviously impossible. In the 22nd century, helium is a scarce resource, so Jiangchen can be used to fill ”balloons” with luxury.

Of course, Jiang Chen didn't leave them a way to live. He still allowed businessmen in the United Nations region to purchase supplies such as small arms bullets and laser gun batteries. However, in order to prevent them from hoarding ammunition, the quantity of each purchase was strictly limited.

With the signing of the trade agreement, the two sides finally lowered the guns pointing at each other. It is not known how long the peace will last, and finally it will come to the land ruled by NAC.

So far, all the things that need to be dealt with in Jiang Chen's temporary return have been dealt with at last, and new news has just come from the other side of the world.

Although she was reluctant to give up, sun Jiao finally let go of Jiang Chen who was ”squeezed out” and left a loving kiss on his lips to watch him disappear in the room and return to the world.

……

New news is coming from Europe.

Since the rebels fired the first shot of the ”7th Institute campaign”, they declared war on the petrelli government in the name of justice.

Just a few days after Jiang Chen left, the flames of revolution had been burning all over Germany.

Bavaria, the most serious state, has even been under state martial law, and Munich has ushered in a curfew after a year and a half. In line with the principle that if you win, if you can't win, you can run away. The Resistance Army used civil transportation and light weapons to fight mobile warfare with special police and regular army in the city. In the face of encirclement and suppression, they fled to the mountainous areas along the German Austrian border and used terrain to fight guerrillas.
